A touch of lethargy has set in. There is a little wind and even from the
right direction for us and we’re bobbing along quite gently under Genoa
only. We could put the main sail up and bob a little more quickly but the effort
hardly seems worthwhile. Michael has Gillian Welch singing to us on his music
machine and we all feel far too relaxed to bother with things like getting to
wherever it is we’re going. We’ll regret it tomorrow when the wind dies I
suppose but that’s a matter for tomorrow.
We’ve passed a few pink plastic bags in the last twenty fours hours or they
could be pink Mohican hairdos from the look of them. In actual fact they’re
jelly fish and I think they are Portuguese Man of War ones. We have been
speculating how they got their name – could it have been in days of yore when
the British seaman gave them that name? A derogatory view of their Portuguese
counterparts? I wonder what Auntie Google has to say on the matter?
